"This is a pivotal work in the discography of Roach and African-American music in general, its importance growing in relevance and timely, postured, real emotional output. Every modern man, woman, and child could learn exponentially listening to this recording -- a hallmark for living life".

"Just for its subject matter everyone in the world should be forced to listen to this album at least once. There is some fine playing, like Booker Little's trumpet solo on "Freedom Day". But it's not an easy listen, the mood is unsurprisingly sombre throughout, and it suffers from very basic recording and production".

"Trommeslageren Max Roach satte i 1960 musik til det store amerikanske raceopgør med sit album "We Insist! - Freedom Now Suite" ... Protestjazzens monumentale værk ... Stærk og tidløst".

"Directly political during the crux of the Civil Rights era, We Insist! Max Roach's Freedom Now Suite (...) is virtually music theater, with lyrics by Oscar Brown Jr. written for a chorale ensemble and sections conceived for a ballet. It is compelling, ambitious, polemical but not pretentious. Lincoln, then married to Roach, dramatizes, embodies, abstracts and finally flat-out screams, setting a standard for uninhibited vocalizing with the tracks "Driva' Man" and "Freedom Day," that singers pursue to this day".
